One thing about Ripper that I heard at the RubyConf (someone please 
correct me if I'm wrong) is that matz plans on using it for Rite's 
parser, so eventually it is guaranteed to always be in sync with the 
most current Ruby. For that reason it seems like it would be great for 
folks to be improving it now, as it means less work for matz in the 
long run.
